As a waterman and the son of a sailor, I’ve spent a lot of time on the waters of the west coast. I know these waters, and yet I can never really know them. The ocean is an endless variety of movement, light and feeling. We can see ourselves in its vastness and depths, its calm and its torrents. Water reflects back to us our inner worlds and emotions.
I'm a Canadian artist with work featured internationally in galleries, art fairs, magazines, tv programs and many private collections. I am based in Toronto, Canada and work with a great team of galleries across Canada and US that exhibit and sell my work to clients around the world.

This studio was in an old factory building called Crane Street Studios that housed hundreds of artists.
The building itself was a graffiti mural mecca where artists from around the world came to paint the walls.
You can see the early stages of my current forest pieces here.
If that orange piece was flipped, I'd be pretty close to some of my current ocean pieces.
Looking very adult in my home studio in Toronto.
These three piece made recently definitely have their roots in my old New York 2001 pieces.
Life today with my favourite people (and dog).
A special shout out to Bau-Xi Gallery! They have represented my work for the last 13 years and given me 18 solo shows between Toronto and Vancouver. Forever grateful for this wonderful team!
